Well I'll add my Modeling with Technology textbook to the list then for my educational technology class.

Hey Folks - Just merged this thread with Lady Wu's "Whatcha Reading" since they were the same - Hope it makes it easier to find!

Also, don't forget that if you purchase books (or anything else) from Amazon that you can purchase them through our bookstore here at The Planet and we get a few nickles from the sale of each item. Great way to help us out. All proceeds go to the scholarship fund!

I just started "Swan Song" by Robert McCammon and so far it's wonderful! I had to get it on the Kindle because it's something like 900 pages but I kinda love being immersed in a good book for a week or two. I am a fast reader and was reading a book every day or two if they arent over 300 pages so this one feels truly decadent.

It's a modern post-apocalyptic but the reviews say it is reminiscent of Steven King's "The Stand".

I read a book, about which I was really excited, only to be w-a-y disappointed and even disturbed by it. It is "Hereville How Mirka Got Her Sword" by Barry Deutsch.

It was, is, about an orthodox girl who wants to have a sword, have adventures etc. I found it to be filled with painful stereotypes and, (dare I say?) anti-Semitism. I realize that is a subjective comment, and is true for me, is my true experience reading the book, is my authentic experience reading the book. I hope I have covered whatever I need to cover by my statement. It is my own, very special person, response to the book.

Has anyone read it? If so any thoughts?

I look forward to a new book by Daniel Silva. Don't know when it's on it's way, but I have faith!

So, I guess my 'what am I reading' is more of a 'what I just read' :)

Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse Five

So it goes

I find this book strangely like my grandfather and his war buddies talking about the burning of the forest after the bombing of Dresden. I fear I am half in love with this book.

Half way through Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom.

I could NOT get into "Girl who kicked the hornet's nest" - Is it just me? Does it pick up after the second chapter?

I might pick it up again but the writing feels tedious to me!!

After much debate (with myself), I ended up purchasing a Kindle because I was going on a long trip (and couldn't justify paying for a heavier luggage bag, which was already crammed). So far, so good...after I've played with it some more, I'll post in the Kindle thread :)

I'm about half-way through reading Wench by Perkins-Valdez and am really enjoy it it--thanks, Christie, for the recommendation! :rrose:

I am reading through the banned book list. I spent a satisfying 15 minutes looking at And Tango Makes Three. Now I believe Farenheit 451 again because first they burn books then they burn people.

I am reading my Physiology homework :seeingstars:

"In 1789 the crew of the Bounty muntinied......"
 

I'm reading (book) "The Serpent in Paradise" by Dea Birkett.

I am reading my homework on the Lungs and the Kidneys..interesting stuff !

I think with most of Steig Larsson's books the issue is the language barrier. Overall they are awesome books though but I have to agree the movies flow better.

Her Fearful Symmetry--Audrey Niffenegger

Death and the Maiden--Ariel Dorfman

Kipling- The Collected Works
